ANOTHER Update (My PC dilemma) (Patreon)

Hello so after a long day of troubleshooting (Thank you so much Skiks on discord he really helped me out)

So my SSD died. My PC would not boot up. I bought a brand new SSD today took apart some of my PC and swapped them out by myself successfully.

However, I’ve been trying to get my document files and assets off of my old SSD and failed doing so. I’ll keep trying but sadly at this point I have to redownload my programs, find my serial codes for everything, find and get my assets for my videos. Figure out my OBS settings again.

Thankfully I saved my reaction video/audio files to my HDD so they are safe however I basically lost all of my premiere files, layouts and assets for editing. Which really sucks especially for YT editing now I have to start over.


Anyways I need a few days to figure out things get all of my programs and assets back. Thankfully my PC is working again after a long day of fixing. Hopefully Monday I will be able to record again.

Literally such a shitty day I feel somewhat defeated but trying to figure everything out now and if anything to always save even project files to a hard drive.


The show must go on though.

Going forward, I recommend downloading Personal Backup and then getting a second drive to automatically have a backup drive. There are videos on YT on how to set it all up and it's not too complex.

you are brave and awesome and hard working. Thank you for your service. I did a quick search, while Windows can "mirror" HDDs it doesn't do it for SSD, although 3rd party software can do it. But you can setup Windows to automatically backup anything in your SSD to HDD. Hardware failures should be uncommon so in the "unlikely" event that your next SSD crashes you can restore from HDD. I've always had bad luck with external HDDs but as long as you account for that. Backup is always a drag... but try to set it up automatically.

so basically about once a year I buy a new hard drive (HDD) and I replace one in my "array" and move the one I pull out and put it into another array... I don't care if the sizes are mismatched, speed mismatch, whatever. I even use HDDs with problems, with warnings. I use them in a RAID array, let's say the drives are mirrored (data is saved to 2 drives, they are mirrors of each other) and if one fails, there's plenty of time for me to put in a replacement drive and the data will be copied to the new one. Seems pretty safe. And you can have a drive with errors but it will continue to work for years. Anyway I have mismatched drive sizes etc. But I buy a new one that is inexpensive for the capacity... and then upgrade every cluster of drives. This time I'm going to end up with 2 to 4 unused HDDs and so I'm going to buy another box with 4 bays or maybe 5 bays. This will collect the smallest and worst drives that are kicked out of the other clusters. There is a nice RAID box with a big metal handle on top, it's inexpensive, looks fun. I should buy it now but I ordered an HD first, a refurbished one and I'll swap out a drive with errors on it... see how that goes before I order the new box. The bad drive I pull out I'll pair it with another one elsewhere and do that again, etc. Maybe next month I'll have the spare HDDs and put them in a new box.
